Chapter 589 - The old lady is gone

Bai Zhi shook her head: “He won’t wake up tonight, he might at least do by tomorrow. I still need to give him another acupuncture treatment.”

At this time, Zhang Sanshui, Mrs. Zhang’s younger brother, came. He hurriedly entered Jiren Tang. He was sweating all over his body, his clothes were wet, and he was panting: “How about my sister? How are my sister and brother-in-law?”

Bai Zhi was packing things, so Village Chief Li, who was in the corner hurriedly approached him and said to Zhang Sanshui: “Sanshui, don’t worry, your sister has been saved. She’s alright now, it’s just she’s not yet awake. I’m afraid she might at least by tomorrow.”

Zhang Sanshui was relieved: “What about my brother-in-law and Fugui? How are they?”

Village Chief Li replied: “Everyone is saved, only the old lady is gone. When she gets here, she’s already out of breath. We’re going to bring them back now. You just came in time. They can’t live in the Bai Family’s house now. Let them live in your house for a few days. We will put the old lady in their house first, and then make a decision when Erzhu wakes up.”

Zhang Sanshui repeatedly nodded his head when he learned that his sister was fine. He had been working in the field. He heard about the incident as soon as he came back. He ran all the way here and almost failed to get in the town’s gate.

“But now, the town’s gate is closed, we can’t get out.”

Bai Zhi had already packed her things, and so she came over while carrying her medicine bag. “It’s okay, I know the town’s gatekeeper. I’ll take to him, and then he will let us go outside.”

When they closed the shop, it was already late, so the town’s gatekeeper stopped them. Bai Zhi gave him some silver to let them go. Before, when she went out with Boss Chen, she met the town’s gatekeeper. Unexpectedly, the leader of the town’s gatekeeper was a relative of Boss Chen. At that time, he said that she only need to give him a message, and then she can come out of the town.

After all, this was only a small border town. The management in this area was not strict. Unlike in the capital, it’s impossible to get out without the official master’s approval letter. It’s useless to bribe them with money.

A carriage and an ox cart drove away. The old lady was dead so she was put in the oxcart, while the rest squeezed themselves in the carriage.

When they returned to the Bai Family’s house, they put down the old lady inside and searched the house inside and out. However, they still couldn’t find the traces of Bai Dazhu’s family and Bai Zhenzhu.

Village Chief Li said: “This is strange. Where did Bai Dazhu’s family go? Why Bai Zhenzhu is also gone?

Some good neighbors in the village didn’t sleep yet, they waited for the people to come back. As soon as they saw light from torches, they immediately came over.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Village Chief, how is he with Erzhu? Are they okay?” Some villagers asked.

Village Chief Li went out of the yard and said to the villagers: “Erzhu is fine, he is saved. Mrs. Zhang and Fugui are also saved. The old lady’s body couldn’t stand it, so she is already gone.”

The villagers sighed regretfully and then asked another question: “Is Dazhu back?”

Village Chief Li shook his head: “He hasn’t returned, I don’t know where he went.”

One villager said: “I’ve seen him earlier. He and his family together with Zhenzhu went towards the south.”

Outside the south part of the village, it was the road to the town. Did they go to the town? Even if they go to the town, they should have returned at this time.

Bai Zhi asked the villager: “When they left, did they bring any baggage with them?”
